Bollywood's Race series serves up glossy thrillers packed with twists and double-crosses. Here's how to watch the films in order. If you love twist-a-minute thrillers where no one can be trusted, the Race films keep the double-crosses coming.
The Race franchise is a slick series of con-and-betrayal thrillers, full of fast cars, glamorous locations, and never-ending plot twists. Each film keeps viewers guessing as characters scheme, deceive, and double-cross one another. Glossy production, chart-topping music, and relentless twists made Race a hallmark of the slick Bollywood thriller.
๐ Release Order
Release order is the easiest way to follow the franchise, though the stories don't form one continuous plot.
- Race (2008)
- Race 2 (2013)
- Race 3 (2018)
The first two films are connected by the recurring character Ranvir Singh, while Race 3 introduces an entirely new set of characters. Race 3 reboots the ensemble entirely, trading the first two films' recurring con man for a brand-new cast of schemers.
๐ Story Chronology
Race and Race 2 follow release order through their shared character, and Race 3 stands apart as a fresh story in the same twisty style. That split makes the original and its direct sequel the natural pair, with the third film functioning as a fresh standalone.
- Race (2008)
- Race 2 (2013)
- Race 3 (2018)
Which Order Should You Choose?
Watch in release order. The 2008 original and Race 2 share a lead character and flow naturally one into the next, so start there. Race 3 is a standalone reboot of sorts, so you can watch it on its own if you prefer. The first two films reward being watched together for their shared character, while Race 3 can be sampled on its own if you just want the spectacle.
